Jon Snow upset Game of Thrones

"Game of Thrones" is one of the biggest shows of all time, but that doesn't make it immune to criticisms.

Some episodes are generally better than others, but the show is consistently praised as one of the best.

According to Rotten Tomatoes ratings, "GoT" has a 94% fresh rating. The worst-rated season is the first at 89%, but even that's not poor.

After digging through ratings for all 60 episodes, there are only 28 episodes that have less than 100%, so we've compiled a list of the 28 "worst""GoT" episodes.

Now, remember, one rotten critic's rating can take down a generally liked episode, so there are some surprises.

Here are the 28 worst "GoT" episodes, ranked from the best-rated to the least:

S6 E9: "Battle of the Bastards"— 98%

All right, so 98% isn't a bad rating, but when the rest have 100%, we've got to count it.

Season six's penultimate episode delivered a large-scale epic battle between the Stark army and Ramsay Bolton's men.

As if that wasn't enough, Ramsay got the only death befitting his sadistic nature, Arya scored the most perfect revenge, and Daenerys (Dany) began her long-awaited trek back to Westeros.

It was a thrilling and slightly unsettling episode, if somewhat predictable.



S6 E7: "The Broken Man"— 98%

Another 98% percent, "The Broken Man," was an overall brilliant episode. It began before the show's usual opening sequence, to reveal that the Hound was in fact alive after being left to die in season four.

The episode also introduced one of the series' best characters, the 10-year-old fierce Lyanna Mormont, and brought back the beloved Blackfish, Brynden Tully. Margaery also proved to her grandma that she hadn't given in to the High Sparrow.

Unfortunately though, the episode included Arya being stabbed multiple times by a disguised Waif, which seemed out of character and an attempt at creating a false sense of fear for a beloved character.



S4 E8: "The Mountain and the Viper"— 97%

This brutally crushing episode featured a trial by combat between the Mountain (fighting for Cersei) and Oberyn (fighting for Tyrion).

While the outcome wasn't a surprise for book readers, it was still stunningly painful to watch and the memory of the fight is forever ingrained in heads.

Smaller moments, including Sansa lying on Littlefinger's behalf, Ramsay being legitimized as Roose's son, and a banished Jorah, also occurred.
